[pct-l] Crater Lake resupply

[Diane Soini of Santa Barbara Hikes]

The Mazama store is very large and well-stocked with ample  
convenience foods. It's a large convenience store with an additional  
frozen foods section plus gifts and camping supplies plus hot coffee.  
Pretty close to a 7-11, but not quite as well stocked. You could  
easily resupply there. There is also a hiker box and an AYCE buffet  
nearby. And a post office a few miles away. You aren't supposed to  
hitchhike but I didn't know that and got a ride to the PO easily.

Another couple days hence is the Shelter Cove resort which also had  
way more stuff than I had expected. I could have resupplied there  
with some effort, but they do hold hiker packages sent UPS. Best Cafe  
Americano there I have ever had in my whole life, too.
